to the undergraduates.Since the mid-1990’s the NAU Engineering programs offer the “Design4Practice,” or “D4P,”curriculum, a series of innovative undergraduate classes which involve team-oriented learningclasses for the students in each of their freshman, sophomore, junior and senior years. The D4Pcourses engaged students to learn by actively using engineering education tools that address theissues of realizing a design: problem solving, project management, and teaming.The D4P program provided courses that emphasized team-oriented design and project management.

. The authors plan to verify such results in a futurestudy with a large sample size. The survey asked that faculty members answer the questions byplacing an X on the line for all options that may apply. The first two questions asked the facultyabout their teaching rank and work status. Faculty responded included eight full professors, fourassociate professors and three assistant professors. Eleven faculty members identified their workstatus as full-time, tenured. The other four faculty members are full-time, tenure-track.Question three asked the faculty to state the reason(s) for pursuing a teaching career in theUnited States.

Reliability was demonstrated using Cronbach`s alpha in order to determine the internalconsistencies of the used satisfaction scales, Cronbach alpha values above 0.9 indicate excellentreliability 14 and in this study it was found to be 0.958 for control group and 0.968 forexperimental one indicating excellent scales showing high internal consistency. Validity was also demonstrated through conclusion validity which is described asappropriateness of the conclusions reported based on statistical relationships 15, thus within thisanalysis conclusion validity was reported through the use of inferential statistics relying onstatistical significance results at the 5% threshold.Survey

pique the interest of engineering students, introduce them to the engineeringdesign process, and enable them to apply skills learned in the classroom to real-worldapplications.(2) Methods The design consists of three major components: the pump(s), the storage and distributionnetwork, and the slow sand filter(s). Each of these can be scaled up or down to fit the particularneeds of the site; the process of modifying the design to make it “site-specific” presents anexcellent opportunity for engineering students to accomplish a limited amount of design work. “River pumps” harness the energy of the flowing water to pump the water out of the river.One such example is the Rife RP-300 (Rife Hydraulic Engine Manufacturing Co., Nanticoke, PAUSA

the unethical treatment of the human subjects in the trials.The Tuskegee Study research started in 1932 when there was no definitive treatment of syphilisbut continued until the story broke in 1972 even though penicillin was developed as a treatmentin the early 1950’s. In the study, 412 poor African-American men with syphilis were followedand left untreated while 204 men free of the disease were used for comparison in order toresearch and document the progression of the disease over the lifetime of the subjects. Thesubjects were deceived in order to get them to consent to participate in the clinical research andthey were denied treatment even after an effective treatment was developed. 11As a result of the public outrage, the National
